Elzybell Kitty Princess

I don’t always get to play with the Elzybell challenges which means my EB stamps are often neglected. I love the quality and images so much, I really need to dig them out more often. This is a busy birthday month in my world and I have 4 very special little girls celebrating (3 this week alone). Last night I set my brain to 4-8 year old girly them and tried to customize the card to the child. This is my sweet girly girl Sami. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).
Color Inspiration I used the red and blue from the inspiration pictures as my launching point. Courtney’s Closet#51 ~ Carter’s Turn 365 Cards Day 126 ~ Show Your True Colors (red, white and blue) 365 Cards Day 132 ~ Picture This
Inspiration Bling, bling and more bling. Elzybells Challenge #24 ~ Buttons & Bling Creative Inspirations Challenge #14 ~ Bling Simon Says Challenge ~ Buttons & Ribbon Paper Play Challenge #28 ~ Dimension Daring Card Makers Bejeweled Bliss Stamptacular Saturday Challenge #18 ~ Child’s Play My Creation I left off the ribbon ‘tails’ from the sketch and opted to bling up my ‘plain’ buttons. The colors don’t scream girly, so I wanted to add lots of sparkle for the princess. Replacing the button holes with gems and a few red gems in her crown certainly fits the bill! The solid white piece is glittered cardstock so the card is very sparkly.
Image Detail
Colored with Copics and a touch of Spicas.
Inside
The inner and outer text were perfect for a princess card.

    Hi from Australia! I thought I would stop by your Blog and say "Hi" after I saw your card on the EB Blog. Congratulations on winning the Elzybells Buttons and Bling challenge - your card is absolutely gorgeous! I really love how you blinged up the buttons - they are so perfect with the Princess Kitty - and of course, the royal blue cushion is just the thing for a royal cat (reminds me of my kitten except that she has chewed her cushion to pieces!!)
